Cacophony [City of Chicago Pictures]

A shot of the Wrigley Building bridge taken from the Tribune plaza across the street. Chicago, Illinois.
The visual cacophony of this bridge set against the other buildings made me dizzy with a feeling of concrete claustrophobia. I like the way the bridge is nestled amongst all the other "business," compelling one's eye to cozy right up and get planted there.

Congratulations, John! Colleen is right; sometimes we have to be patient with our undoubtedly overwhelmed judges, and let them suddenly see what they've glanced over, in the past ;) I'm a firm believer in resubmitting! #4705543John Caruso August 27, 2007
